The Antarctic Cormorant also referred to as the Antarctic Shag - - they were quite plentiful in some parts of the Antarctic - - in this particular sighting the one was the receiving party at Neko Harbour - - I was still on the zodiac when I took this shot, I really wanted the glacier background which would have been impossible once standing on the beach.

... or in other words: Reduced to the essential. Please forgive me if I come again with a picture of a butterfly. At first I wanted to present something completely different, but I could not detach myself from this picture. This little beauty just fascinated me because it's so simple in expression. (The search for a winter picture failed yesterday. Is it really winter now? We have weather like spring.)
It is the beautiful memories of warm, comfortable summer evenings that I associate with this photo. Yes, I repeat myself, but I am a summer child and wait so much for warmer, sunnier days, when I can marvel at the beauty of nature. Then I can and may dream again and forget the time. Yes, I am a dreamer !!!
It would fill my heart with joy if I could elicit a smile from you with this picture. I thank you for your understanding that I could not present a real winter picture again, but what is not can still be. Winter is not over, but spring is not so far away !!!
Dedication: Only for my dear birth child, which I would like to prepare with this picture a little joy. I wish you all the best, many wonderful and happy moments in the new year and the most important thing: Stay healthy !!!
Listen to this dreamy and lovely music. Enjoy your time.

Things are badly done, they get ruined, they break. Abandonment makes them unusable and only love, perhaps, repairs them. Love, with its interlocking, giving and receiving, makes the puzzle of life meaningful.
Alessandro D'Avenia
Tonglen, the Tibetan practice of “sending and receiving,” is one of the most powerful—and radical—ways of cultivating compassion.
When practicing tonglen, we consciously choose to take in the suffering of others. The practitioner breathes in pain and suffering, and sends out compassion and goodness on the exhale.
“It’s a simple and natural exchange: you see suffering, you take it in with the inbreath, you send out relief with the outbreath ....”

on the "Rheinsteig", receiving peace and power from mother nature, at least some hours.
but switch off your smartphone, off for such hours, otherwise Mr Putin and his war against Ukraine comes back into your brain and soul...

The Giant's Causeway (Irish: Clochán an Aifir) is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic fissure eruption. It is located in County Antrim on the north coast of Northern Ireland, about three miles (4.8 km) northeast of the town of Bushmills.
It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986 and a national nature reserve by the Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland in 1987. In a 2005 poll of Radio Times readers, the Giant's Causeway was named the fourth-greatest natural wonder in the United Kingdom.
The tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea. Most of the columns are hexagonal, although some have four, five, seven, or eight sides. The tallest are about 12 metres (39 ft) high, and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 28 metres (92 ft) thick in places.
Much of the Giant's Causeway and Causeway Coast World Heritage Site is owned and managed by the National Trust. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Northern Ireland, receiving over 998,000 visitors in 2019. Access to the Giant's Causeway is free of charge: it is not necessary to go via the visitor centre, which charges a fee. The remainder of the site is owned by the Crown Estate and several private landowners. Wikipedia
Mağlova Aqueduct. The Byzantine water supply system of Constantinople was developed in the mid-4th century. The system's scale and complexity is a testament to Byzantine engineering and its ability to manage water resources effectively.
Even after the Ottoman conquest, the system was maintained and expanded, with the Aqueduct of Valens receiving particular attention.

Last year in 2022, this area outside Annapolis Valley was receiving weather much the same as the rest of Nova Scotia. A drought was occurring while in 2023 there were floods. This combination of severe weather patterns was interfering with Mother Nature's cycles and stunting typical growth. Combining this with Hurricane Lee that had hit this area just prior to our arrival, and it is clear why Autumn colors were challenging to find.
However, the Annapolis Valley is rich farmland, and close by is Wolfville that is ripe with vineyards. These would be the places where Fall colors might still be found and where many miles were driven to find them.
An abandoned warehouse with walls full of art and a floor with water receiving reflections from the walls made the floor very pretty
Here is my Erzebeth with her final look :) ! I just received the special Leeke wig (the curls are a terrible mess, I'm sad about it) even if I'm a bit disapointed, it was the color I was searching for her ♥ So she's as I conceived her before receiving the girl ♥
- the color of the wig isn't black, it's blackberry, dark purple :) -

After receiving a fresh crew in Whitesville, this coal shuttle made the final few miles of it’s journey to the Marfork Mine on the Montcoal Branch. Here, the train is seen exiting the Montcoal branch onto the lead into Marfork Mine. Behind the camera, the rest of the Montcoal branch is OOS and heavily grown in.
